Hello Gershon, this is classic you, sharp, playful, and delivered with that perfectly timed wink. I laughed out loud at the punchline, because only you could make self-nomination feel both mischievous and strangely reasonable. A fun, clever jab at the whole process. Blessings, Daniel

Well, if you can call a poem of mine 'classic you,' I feel better labeling your poems as 'vintage Daniel Henry Rogers!' Thanks, gw

You are a democrat?! What?! Oh, well. Hope you can swallow AOC as your party's contender in 2028... Like, I think, you now, it is really, a conversation, though now is, ahem, not the time, but then again, Taiwan, you know, must be agreed upon, as relating to Iran. ~ AOC's speechwriter
